Now I would imagine that would cause some problems if I went with a pocket square. I have some amateur thread and needle skills and figure that it would be a easy fix to de-thread it myself. However, it is a nice Boss and I don't want to end up loosening the pocket too much (if that is even possible...).
Any suggestions on whether I should take it to a tailor or do it myself? I don't really know how that ever surpassed me when I was originally getting it tailored. Might have to just call around later and see what the tailors have to say about it.
RFX got it ... its called basting ... and that is how most new suits come. Its definitely a DIY job ...
Black suit though? Is it for an evening event? If not, i'd suggest going with navy, charcoal or grey.
